6:15 PM IST Earlier in the game, asked to bar first, Bangalore got a rollicking start with young gun Padikkal firing in his debut game. He along with Finch added 90 for the opening wicket, with the Aussie limited over skipper playing the second fiddle. Bangalore stuttered in the middle overs but AB de Villiers with a fine half ton provided the final punch for Bangalore. It was a decent bowling performance from Hyderabad. They were smashed in the first 11 overs but pulled things back nicely. They failed to take wickets at regular intervals though. Marsh's injury didn't help their cause one bit.
